Sverdlov Park

Yakov M. Sverdlov Garden is located on Perm's Red Square and has a long history since 1865 when it was originally called "Angel's Garden" at the site of a closed copper smelting plant. Today it is known as Yakov M. Sverdlov Garden. It features the monument "Mourning Newfoundland," dedicated to canine handler Yanis Markods in 1995. In 1928, Vladimir Mayakovsky and his friends read poetry there. The garden's reconstruction was completed in 2010.
